NOTE:
Founded in April 1918 under the advocacy of Cai Yuanpei, the Beijing Art School was the first national fine arts institution in China, established with the mission of cultivating artistic talent and advancing art education. In its early years, the School offered courses in Chinese painting, Western painting, and design, with instruction from celebrated artists including Wang Zhen, Chen Banding, Qi Baishi, and Lin Fengmian. The Czechoslovak watercolorist Vojtěch Čížek was invited to teach oil painting. Following the war, the School merged with the arts department of North China United University and officially became the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1950.

In the 1920s, at the recommendation of Cai Yuanpei, Chen Yu was appointed the president of the School while serving as a counselor for the Ministry of Education. Chen Yu, also known as Wenhu, came from a distinguished family in Hunan with a deep tradition in scholarship and medicine. The present lot, compiled by Chen Wenhu, was originally assembled for a 1924 publication celebrating the School’s achievements in calligraphy and paintings. Treasured by Chen Wenhu’s family for over seven decades, it features works by prominent calligraphers and painters of the time and offers invaluable insight into the development of arts education in China.
